Nintendo Switch 主机存储可用空间

1. 存储空间概述

The Nintendo Switch console comes with a modest 32GB of storage space. This can be expanded using an SD card, but it is still a relatively small amount of space on your console. It is important to manage this storage space effectively, especially since many games require significant downloads.

2. 存储空间管理

There are several ways to clear up internal storage space or at least offload some of that data to an SD card. By default, if you have an SD card installed in your Switch, the console will automatically store downloaded games and screenshots to it until it's full. If you started using your console without an SD card or don't have one, you might need to clean house once in a while.

There are two ways to delete games on the Switch. You can either delete them, which will take away all your games saved data, or you can “archive” them. Archiving a game will delete all of the game data (which takes up the bulk of the space on your console) but leave your game saves where they are. That way, if you download the game again in the future, you don't have to start over.

If a game is installed on your Switch’s internal storage, you'll also need to archive it in order to move it over to your SD card. Start by inserting your SD card, then archive the game you want to move. Once it's gone, re-download the game from the eStore and it will be installed on the SD card by default.

3. 游戏更新与存储空间

When a game updates on the Switch, it will occupy host space. For example, the update for "塞尔达英文版" to its Chinese version occupies around 200M of space. If you have already updated the game and want to put the updated file on the SD card, you will need to delete the original file from the host. This is because the Switch's game cards can only be read, not written to, so the updated files cannot be written back to the game cards.

4. 大型游戏的存储空间占用

Some games, like "NBA 2K18," can occupy a significant amount of storage space. The Switch version of "NBA 2K18" requires a minimum of an 8GB MicroSD card to be installed for proper gameplay, as it occupies around 27.9GB of space, which is over 107% of the Switch's built-in storage space.

5. 存储空间的扩展

The Nintendo Switch supports MicroSD cards for expanding storage space. These cards can be purchased online or in stores and are relatively inexpensive. It is recommended to purchase a high-quality MicroSD card to ensure reliable performance.

In conclusion, while the Nintendo Switch has a limited amount of built-in storage space, there are several ways to manage and expand this storage. By deleting unnecessary data, archiving games instead of deleting them, and using a MicroSD card, players can make the most of their available storage space.
